Pregnancy update + less Patron events this coming week
🕑 Added 2025-04-10 23:12:12 +0000 UTCHello all,
No baby yet! We're still expecting any day.
Littlest one (baby boy #2) is doing well. All of his scans have been great, his heart beat has been extremely steady and in a healthy zone, and his movement is sometimes too awesome - his kicks can really hurt, but at least I never wonder if he's still there.
My health hasn't been the greatest due a combination of a brutal sinus infection + cough that didn't respond well to antibiotics and end-of-pregnancy body pains. The sinus infection seems to be on the upswing now, but recovery is very slow. I've been needing to sleep a lot.
The doc, Kirk and I want to do our best to keep baby in for least another week so that I can fully recover before delivery, so we need to pull back on a few of the tentative plans and the live chat tomorrow (so no Jackbox tomorrow, 4/11, no masterclass on 4/13, and no Beat Saber/Twitch on 4/16).
I've greatly enjoyed shifting the Beat Saber play to Twitch listen-through & analysis, and I'm hoping to get much more of that in before starting regular recording back in July, so if you're in that tier, stock up some requests! I love the variety of music that y'all have brought, and I love the chance to hear some lesser-known bands that wouldn't normally make it through a Patron poll or be most requested in comments.
Watch Parties are still happening - and please do join in on these! I think they're so valuable. Sending a big thank you to all who help organize!
Thank you, once again, to everyone who sent tea. I have been drinking SO MUCH TEA to help recover. Y'all are the best.
Wishing you all tons of the good.
Elizabeth (& Kirk & Mycroft & Baby #2)

Hi, I'm so sorry to hear how terrible you are feeling, I'm a nurse and I suffer from a lot of sinus infections. The cough, I'm sure you were told, and not harmful, lukewarm salt water and gargle as many times as you can. Another great thing is Organic 100% pure honey π―. If you can find it locally fresh at a farmer's market, that is the best for your cough. I kid you not. You can put in honey. I just put on a spoon and swallow, it will coat your throat. This really helps. Since your pregnant, your limited I know. Another great thing that works, and I know you will think π¬π€ seriously? But if you take a pot of boiling water and put Vicks vapor rub in the water and let it boil, be careful, then take a towel put over your head so the steam doesn't escape, and inhale the steam.. and maybe someone can hold it over you and you just continue to just inhale and I don't want to sound gross π€’ but you will start to see nasal liquid come out and have tissues to blow and continue until nothing comes out of your nose, this will even help your cough, bc it's that post nasal drip that causes the cough. I guarantee you if it's done correctly, it will all come out. Continue this at least twice or three times a day. It will drain out .. please try it. I hate medicine, but this works for me and everyone I tell, they say it helped so much! Well, I hope you are feeling better soon and I will pray for you. πβ€οΈ God bless you and your family.

Happy Mother Day!
